available man for the governorship on
the reform side. There was an almost
unanimous sentiment for Nichols.
Elsewhere throughout the State the
same sentiment prevailed, and ] retur-
ned home and wrote the letter OF
which so much political capital has
been sought to be made. This is the
inside history of the "Hollingswo,th h
letter."
A few words as to the alleged pres
mature opening Of the campaign. 1t
is true that General Nichols was So,
licited to permit the use of his name
several months before the State con-
vention was to meet, but the organi-
zation of the State administration party
was already we'll under way, and sound
sense dictated that the reform clement
should not be behind.
The difference between Those who
favor the candidacy of General Mich
oils and those who favor the candidacy
of Governor McEnery is difference
as clear as the noon-day sun. One
element believes ia representative
government, government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people ;
the other believes in that which its
candidate has always practiced, q per-
sonal government, of his friends, for
his friends and by his friends. This is
the difference put as briefly as
can.
The question of my attitude with
reference to the United States senator,
ship has been discussed in some quar-
tiers. On this subject I wish to say
that there is not now. nor has there
ever been, a Gibson Blanchard COM
bination. On the contrary, l have
visited Mr.. Jonas three times, once in
company with Mr.. Blanchard himsei II,
to- assure him (Mr. Jonas) that the re-
form element was willing to support
him for the United States Senate as a
colleague Of Hon. II. l.. Gibson, il he
would only align himself thoroughly
with the reform element and do some
work in the campaign. 1 told him
that Mr.. Blanchard would not be in
his way for the United States Senate,
if he (Jonas) would come out and show
his colors. Mr.. Jonas told me he ex-
pected to do some work, and would
make some speeches on our side.
An I say now that the reform eie-
ment in north Louisiana is willing to
support Mr.. Jonas, if he will align
himself with the sentiment that op-
poses the State administration. But
he must not delay too long. II Mr..
Jonas does not shortly tell the peo-
pie where he stands, ], for one,
am for Hon. N. G. Blanchard of
the parish of Caddo for tho United
States Senate as colleague of Hon.
Randall! l.. Gibson. Yours truly,
J. M. HoLLINGSWORTII.

Especial to the Times Democrat.

Especial to tho Times Democrat
DALLAS, July 24.-The intense eat
for the week past has paralyzad busi-
ness, but has had little effect on the
whisky campaign. Nightly crowds
of people are harangucd in every part
OF the city by local and travelling
orators. Texas is one vast seething
caldron upon this question. Commu-
mites, counties, towns and cities arc
stirred to the very bottom. Five hun
hred meetings and 1000 speeches per
day is about the average. The Pro-
hfbitionists are the best organized and
are fighting with unparalleled energy
and courage. The ladies of the whole
Stale are giving them their almus {
unanimous and undivided encourages
ment and support. They attend meet
ings with coffee, lemonade, lunches
and approving smiles. Preachers and
laymen are found everywhere in the
thickest of the fight.
Ga the other hand the Anti's have
the whisky dealers, the barkccpcrs and
their customers. They are a. irC,
mcndous disadvantage, but are gam,

1855 TO TA65,OOO, 900 in 1856. Tho i'm
portant factor in this gain, $37 900 900,

This is Il decrease Of 2092 TASKS, but
the total value shows an increase of
$50 0,Sll, due to an increase in prices.

Gen. Scott once rose from ga hasty plato
of soup to write Il letter. That episode
and epistolary effusion sealed his fate Col.
Hollingsworth, the would be Warwick of
Louisiana, would do we'll to take warming.
His famous letter bringing ont Gen. Mich
oils was enough. For him to go further and
attempt to make United States Senators is
quite too much. He had better subside.
TO be Warwick in tho bailiwick of Caddo
is one thing; to be Warwick in tho great
State of Louisiana is quite another.

The immediate causes affecting the market
to-day we're the sales of several blocks of

ing by the room traders upon any appear
ance of outside selling and the realization for
the accounts of professional, exchange rates
were again advanced as the consequences of
securities for foreign account After the
first hour the market presented very little
feature and fluctuations were narrow and
unimportant. There was a decidedly weak
opening, the declines ranging in the general
list from u to Is, while Jersey Central was
down ~ and Lo iisville s. Nashville ~. The
decline continued in the early dealing on
active trading, but the market rallied and be-
came quiet, prices being carried generally
small fractions above the opening figures.
The market sagged off slowly until after IL
o'clock. after which another gen.
eral advance took place, when prices
were generally brought up to the
highest figures of the morning. A slight re-
cession occurred in the last hour, b ut the
market closed steady to firm, generally small
fractions above the opening; sales, 24l.595

siderable attention and is 2A higher, while

tional declines, except Norfolk s. Western
